Let me preface by saying my anxiety and stess are at an all time high right now with the wedding being 30 days away, and we've just bought a house, so I'm not thinking clearly and so many irrational thoughts are running through my head.
Anyways, I am worried that my FI will not like my hair and make up the day of. He is very opinionated and picky when it comes to fashion and looks.
He thinks its silly that I don't want him to see my dress, trial pics, etc. He grew up an a casual, non traditional culture where seeing the bride before didn't matter, whereas I am more traditional and don't want him to see me before I walk down the aisle. He also does not like surprises.
He has told me that on the day of, not to ask him what he thinks of how I look because he cannot lie to me (I can always tell when he is lying) and say he thinks it looks good when he doesn't think so. Of course if he does like it, he'll say something.
My anxiety and worry over him possibly not liking my hair/makeup has gotten to the point where I am considering just showing him the trial photos. Obviously I want him to think I look beautiful the day of, so I'm worried that the day will come and he won't say anything and I'll know he doesn't like it and it'll make me feel like shit cuz I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks of how I look except for him - I want him to think I'm beautiful.
But there is also another part of me that doesn't want him to see anything beforehand and also a part of me that thinks, well if he doesn't like it its not the end of the world.
I'm sorry this is long. Now that I've written it all out, I realize how silly it all sounds that I'm getting worked up over this, but anxiety is not rational and my mind has been taken over by irrational thoughts and anxiety.
But anyways, I guess I'm just asking you ladies for what you think and some rational thoughts to help put me at ease and lessen my anxiety.
If you got through this mess of a post, thank you!
